7.11 Notification of decision

The decision of the Appeal Panel will be notified to the parties in writing within 28 days of the Appeal Hearing.

Where an Appeal has not been successful, in whole or in part, the decision of the Appeal Panel, including details of any sanction, incorporating any amendment(s) made by the Appeal Panel, will be published on the Association's website and in its journal.

If the decision is that the Appellant's membership of the Association should be withdrawn, the Head of Professional Conduct will communicate this decision to the Chair of the Association who, in turn, will formally notify the Appellant in writing and implement the Panel's decision. This decision will be final.
